Thank you!

The docker part worked fine for me. But installing docker-compose was giving me NameError: name 'platform_system' is not defined
Finally these steps worked for me.

 $ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.19.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose  
 $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
